Re: How do I make the Favorites bar display automatically when i start up Windows Explorer

Copy the following code to Notepad, and save as "explorer.vbs"

- - -
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "explorer.exe"
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys "^i"
- - -

Double-clicking the file opens Windows Explorer, and enables the Favorites
pane automatically. You can place the script in the Quick Launch folder for
easy access.

When I open a Windows Explorer (not IE) session, I want the Favorites bar
(or any other bar for that matter) to display by default, instead of the
Info Pane.
anyone have any idea how that`s done? i`ve searched around for a solution
and could not find ANY related information ANYWHERE.

Thanks in advance for any info related...
